Well at least we're great, again.
Buckle up fam. This is a nation of dimwitted dumbfucks. It's not going to get any better because we're too stupid to vote for it to get better.
Don't blame the voters. They're idiots who are struggling to make ends meet. Blame the people in power who manipulate vulnerable people into doing bad things. The solution to our problem is NOT more citizens without rights.
No, I will blame the voters.
Then you're a willing member of a country divided, and you let him win.
Local offices, sure, but really you can blame the gerrymandering and electoral college. Voters just decide the popular vote, nothing more.
On my daily commute, I would normally pass 2 or 3 cars for sale parked out in people's front yards. Last I counted, that number was 12. More if I were to include other things suddenly for sale, like boats, bikes, and golf carts.
Can I just point out that the middleman taking a commission adds no value to this transaction. I can give a neighbor a can of beans directly and anonymously through my neighborhood little free pantry.
When I used GoFundMe a few weeks ago, paying them was optional. It's possible they were lying but they made it seem like I could pay them as little as I wanted and if I chose 0, all my money would go to the person/org I'm trying to support. I think they defaulted it to 5% but allowed me to choose 0. I honestly think supporting gofundme isn't a bad idea (they build and maintain software and infrastructure to make donations easy) but in that case I wanted the recipient to get it all.
Rent parties are back! Just without the jazz, and food, and booze, and community... But at least it's monetized for a tech CEO! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rent_party
Thank goodness - it's so much better than it was under the (memory-hole version of) Biden's economy! Doesn't everyone else remember that total hellscape?

Anybody else notice a lot of houses for sale recently? Some near me are on the market for a long time.
I'm not driving between neighborhoods much, but I do see for sale signs here and there. What I notice a lot more, however, are tons of for lease signs in front of business real estate.
Most of the southeast in the US is in an early housing market collapse. New homes cost less than used inventory, which is a horrible sign. Inventory and time on market are also creeping up.
I used to drive by these two houses in a rural neighborhood which had huge “trump” signs in their front lawns for years.
Both houses recently replaced those signs with “for sale” signs.
I had to laugh.
Supposedly the real estate market is the worst it's been since 1995. I guess if you are on the buying side, it might be ok. Not sure if recent/upcoming rate cuts will start showing up in mortgage rates...
How are we the best country again?
I don’t think we were ever literally the best country, those tend to be the nordics. I believe (and I guess I should do some research) that “the greatest country on earth” was a marketing slogan. Like the local coffee shop that says they have the best coffee in the country or something. It was a very successful marketing campaign considering it’s still being believed and discussed.
Ya but tell that to a MAGA. they'll lose their fucking mind.
Then tell them Trump has never won an election against a man.
Edit: ~~They~~ Then
Also, that he's the first president to be openly cucked. We all know his wife is getting it from someone else.
Isn't Baron actually the old Canadian PM'S kid? Looks a lot like him, and explain trump hatin on him
CollegeHumor CEO series is amazing if you havent seen them.
Wow this is a real cookie terror popup crap page closed it immediately
Mostly the economy is under terrible management since January 20th. It was doing really well before then, now it’s only doing really well for the select few that are part of the oligarchy class thats on good terms with the mobster in charge.
Wy do you feel the economy was doing well when pretty much every metric shows that everyone not making six figures has seen their quality of life drop for the last 4 year?
